We purchased the Luis Cañas Crianza 2010 Rioja for around $18 on the “advice” of a wine shop shelf sign. What a pleasant discovery! The aroma is filled with dark chocolate and plums followed by flavors of chocolate, dark berries, and a hint of tobacco. The mouth feel is velvety …

Very fruit forward and full of flavors of blackberry and grape. We used to drink this cab several years ago and remember it being a little bit better but it is still a pretty good wine for the money. The finish is long, strong, and a bit grapey. Cost: $9.99-12.99 …
